Billede genereret af AI

Supreme Court minister André Mendonça held sharp discussions with the defense of former banker Daniel Vorcaro after the delivery of plea deal annexes to the Federal Police and the Attorney General's Office.

The annexes were presented on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Mendonça, the rapporteur in the case investigating Vorcaro for financial crimes, believes the information provided is far from what has already been gathered by the Federal Police.

Vorcaro was arrested in November 2025 while trying to leave the country and rearrested in March 2026. His defense seeks a plea deal that includes sentence reduction and restitution of funds.

There is no clear mention of Vorcaro's relationship with Senate president Davi Alcolumbre amid R$400 million in investments by Amprev in Banco Master securities.

Discussions note Vorcaro's reluctance to fully cooperate and broader implications for Brazilian political accountability.

Former banker Daniel Vorcaro signed a confidentiality agreement with the PGR and Federal Police to start plea bargain negotiations. On Thursday (March 19, 2026), he was transferred from Brasília's Federal Penitentiary to the Federal Police Superintendency in the Federal District, by order of STF Justice André Mendonça. The move meets a defense request to facilitate discussions.

STF Justice André Mendonça ordered greater transparency in the Banco Master case by mandating the delivery of ex-banker Daniel Vorcaro's data to the INSS CPI and the Federal Police. The ruling makes Vorcaro's attendance at the commission optional and reduces risks of evidence tampering. Meanwhile, reports of parties hosted by Vorcaro with authorities heighten suspicions of undue influence in power structures.

A parliamentary inquiry commission in the São Paulo Legislative Assembly is investigating municipal pension funds' investments in Banco Master's financial letters, owned by banker Daniel Vorcaro, arrested on Wednesday (4) for suspected corruption and obstruction of justice. The 120-day commission targets pyramid schemes and losses to cities like Cajamar and São Roque. Revelations from Vorcaro's phone messages reveal ties to authorities across the three branches of government.

The Federal Police requested the Supreme Federal Court to declare Minister Dias Toffoli recused as rapporteur in the Banco Master investigations, based on mentions of the magistrate found on Daniel Vorcaro's cell phone. The request was submitted to Court President Edson Fachin, who ordered Toffoli to respond. The minister's office described the request as unfounded allegations and questioned the PF's legitimacy.
